[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Ah, we don't have the other wedges anymore. I think there were a few, but I only ever saw the red one in there. We were told they weren't as good as this one, which is pretty great. They wore robes. They spoke pretty normally - couldn't really tell from their manner of speech that they weren't from around here at all! They sounded just like a Creshire native. They carried hiking sticks from their long journey from the Chicory area, and they'd just bring what materials they needed in Pokeballs. Nice folks."

"Sounds like it.  Odd that they knew about Genesect though...did you know it's a mythical pokemon, not just a mere legendary?  Few even know of its existence.  In fact, it didn't even exist until several years ago.  It was a fossil pokemon, but there was some sort of process that was undergone to make it tougher, faster, stronger...oh, and give it that absolutely massive cannon that it has on its back.  And that was in Unova of all places.  It's truly one-of-a-kind unless more have been made since the first.  Makes me wonder how those travelers knew about it...well, thank you for your time, sir.  The tour was great, and I appreciate your answering my questions."

After saying farewell to the Ranger Chief (and probably baffling him with that smidge on genesect's origins.  No need to worry him by telling him it was Team Plasma who made Genesect), Nathan pulls out his journal again and scribbles a few more notes.  He has more questions than concrete answers still, but they'd probably have to go to the villages around Chicory Lake if they wanted to find out more...and that would be a hard trek.  There aren't any well maintained routes to the lake from any point in Creshire.  The closest place to it would be Stair City...

Well, setting that aside for now, Nathan decided it was time to do a little training.  With a little bit more work, Staryu would be able to learn a new move.  Porygon and Kirlia could use some more practice too...in fact, Porygon could probably learn a new move in the process as well...and maybe practice a new technique...this could be interesting...he could send the combee on some more honey gathering in the meantime, too...

Training time! 
- Nathan's going to teach Staryu Psywave, Porygon Psybeam, and Kirlia gets to practice Double Team and Teleport, his newest moves.  
- Nathan's also going to have Porygon start practicing Conversion to change to Psychic type now that he has access to Psybeam (here comes the fun!)  Complicated training orders, I know.  Good thing he's going to be working primarily with Porygon once Staryu learns Psywave and leave Kirlia to his own devices with the training.  One thing at a time in this Psychic training session!
- The combee duo are also going to go gather some honey while this is going on.

Should Ventus and company return to the village now, or in the middle of the training, Nathan should be in sight of the statue when they return, since he's not really planning to go very far without the rest of the group.
